33 Moon Angelfish is a small-sized, Uncommon fish caught in the shallow waters around the Caribbean in Windrose. It is a Fishing pickup that processes into Fish Fillet, the universal cooked-fish ingredient used in dozens of Cooking recipes.

1010 How to Catch

1212 Moon Angelfish is caught with a Fishing Rod in shallow water tiles. Shallow-water tiles are the lighter blue patches that hug the coast, including reef and mangrove margins. Cast from a beach, a small boat, or the side of a docked ship over reef shallows. The shallow rotation is made up of six Uncommon species: Blue Tang, Moon Angelfish, Queen Angelfish, Pink Wrasse, Sapphire Wrasse, and Reef Snapper. The deeper-water species (Emerald Bluefish, Red Snapper, Giant Mackerel, and Large Barracuda) only bite over the dark blue deep tiles offshore, so you will not pull them in the shallows.

1414 Bait quality and rod tier raise the catch rate but do not affect which species bite. Higher-tier rods have shorter cast times and better tug response, which matters when several bite windows overlap on a busy fishing trip. Because every shallow species shares the same rarity, the shallow rotation is fairly even, so a steady run over reef tiles will turn up a mix of all six rather than favoring any one fish.

1818 Moon Angelfish shares its habitat and rarity with the rest of the shallow rotation. All of them weigh 0.2 kg, stack to 10, and fillet into the same ingredient, so they are interchangeable for cooking and only differ in appearance and Fisherman Ring collection progress.

2323 The primary use is processing into Fish Fillet at a kitchen Cookware station. Each fish can also be filleted straight from the inventory. As a small Uncommon catch, Moon Angelfish returns only a few fillets each, so the larger Rare and Epic deep-water fish are far more efficient if raw fillet output is the goal. Fish Fillet stacks high and feeds into recipes like Fish and Tostones, which sit at the top end of food buffs. Selling raw is generally a poor option compared to filleting first.

2525 Fisherman Ring Reward
2626  
2727 Catching at least one of every fish species in the game, all six shallow fish plus the four deep-water fish, unlocks a unique Fisherman Ring reward that gives a chance to reel an extra fish on a successful catch. A stronger Major Fisherman Ring version improves that chance further. Logging Moon Angelfish early is one of the simpler steps toward the set, since it is a common bite in any reef shallows.

3131 Moon Angelfish weighs 0.2 kg per fish and stacks to 10, so it is one of the cheapest fish to carry. Shallow-water fishing also pairs well with shoreline foraging: beach a small boat near a reef, fish through the rotation, then walk inland for plants and animal hunts. A Fishing Barrel placed at your base lets you store the haul without clogging your backpack between trips.
